Distinct correlations between lipogenic gene expression and fatty acid composition of subcutaneous fat among cattle breeds

Distinct correlations between lipogenic gene expression and fatty acid composition of subcutaneous fat among cattle breeds

Abstract Background The fatty acid (FA) composition of adipose tissue influences the nutritional quality of meat products. The unsaturation level of FAs is determined by fatty acid desaturases such as stearoyl-CoA desaturases (SCDs), which are under control of the transcription factor sterol regulat...
